We passed by the Cruz del Carmen many times and stopped also often for the viewpoint there. The parking-lot at the cross is always packed and we know now why - one of the most popular hikes is leaving from there, going downhill all the way to Punta del Hidalgo.
The hike takes your first through the Laurel Rainforest, then it leads you to the small town of Chimada with cave houses where we met this guy serenading to us old songs from the island. Then you get to admire some beautiful rock formations until we arrived in Punta del Hidalgo.
